Public interest poll for extra side character content in Episode 4

This is a copy of the Patron voting poll for a scene with a side character in the next episode. Like the title suggests, this poll does not decide anything - unless the unlikely happens and the result of the Patron poll is a tie. Its main purpose is to give you a look at what people are voting for even if you are not a patron and perhaps show what side character you might favor yourself. Let me repeat for clarity: this is a copy of the patron-exclusive post and this poll does not decide anything!

However, if you are a patron, don't forget to vote in the patron polls in the respective posts below (depending on your tier).

____

The options to vote for are: Kara (the blacksmith's daughter), Olevia (the farmer's wife), Becky (the blonde barmaid) and Trisha (the rich landowner's daughter).

Sunny and Anasteya are not included because they both have a huge abundance of scenes already as main characters, and I expect Amaya to be too occupied for such a casual scene...

What kind of a scene you can expect?

I imagine it as a scene that is harmonious with the rest of my plans and lets you find out more about a side character that you are curious about (+ at least one extra unique artwork). This means that you should definitely not expect a sudden sex scene; the main 'meat' of interactions with every character will always happen at the right time regardless of poll results, so you don't have to worry that a side character you like will never pull down her panties because she had never won a poll.

Like I said in the previous post, this is an experimental thing - but if you guys like it, we could make it a thing for every episode. Further down the line, these voted extra scenes with side characters could contain erotic/sexual content, but it always has to be in harmony with how the rest of the story is going. To put things in perspective, if I made a scene in the next episode where Becky vigorously jerks the protagonist off, it would have a huge impact not only on her relationship with the protagonist, but also the protagonist's relationship with Sunny who are supposed to be indulging in inexperienced sexual explorations together at that point. This would present additional workload not only for the scene itself, but for "calibrating" the rest of the story back on track.

As for the length of the scene, I would estimate it as fairly short by default - but it all depends on where inspiration takes me with it.

At this point, I have a good idea of how I want the next episode to play out, and I want the extra scene to blend in seamlessly rather than stand out like a disjointed segment of the narrative, but I will disclose which scene in particular I came up with as a result of patron votes so it can be evaluated independently.

In case it might matter to your decision, here is roughly how much screentime I expect the characters to have in Episode 4:

Trisha will have a fairly heavy presence in the next episode - she will have some interactions alone with Sunny, at least one interaction with the protagonist, and then another segment where all three are together.

Becky will have at least 1 interaction with the protagonist, following up a discovery about Becky that the protagonist had made in the last episode.

Kara I have no firm plans for, but I would like her to pop up in at least one minor interaction.

And Olevia, the farmer's wife, is not set to appear in the next episode.

TL;DR: Depending on the Patron votes, I will introduce a scene in which the protagonist gets to interact a little more with a chosen side character, seamlessly merged with the rest of the narrative (+ at least one unique artwork). The artwork itself might be suggestive, but don't expect the scene to be anything erotic/sexual at this point.

I expect to keep the poll running for at least a couple of weeks.
